The girls started off the week strong with their dressage results on Tuesday. Annelise lead the division on a score of 30 with Andi close behind in third on a 33. Eliza rounded out the top four on a 34. The Training 3-Day is run as a long format competition, so the girls had heaps to focus on as they headed into Wednesday's competition. All the parents had an intense day and lots to prepare for on Wednesday, as the Training 3 day is the only opportunity to experience a long format cross-country day.

We had a second great day on the endurance day of competition, with Annelise and Andi posting double-clear cross-country rides and Eliza adding just 1.6 time to her dressage score on phase D. We had a phenomenal support crew from parents that were on top of everything in the cooling boxes. I also want to make a special thank you to Ally Aurillo who has helped the entire week and was my right-hand girl in the boxes yesterday! Wex, George and Leroy proved to be quite fit and recovered extremely well from the cross-country.
Show-jumping rounded out the competition today with Annelise adding eight penalties to her dressage score, while Andi and Eliza posted clear rounds. These girls have had their eyes on this competition since the start of the season, and they have been working very hard to get here. I could not be more pleased with their efforts this week! The horses are going to have a very well deserved break now, and the girls will be looking forward to coming back for a few more competitions in the fall.
Congrats to Annelise, Andi and Eliza on a phenomenal performance!
